Global Display help Burberry lift-off
Celebrating the magic of flight, the
famous British brand Burberry installed a
full size hot air balloon in Heathrow
Terminal 2 - complete with staged
mannequins to celebrate the British long distance
inflight balloon record. One of
the pilots on this famous flight wore a
Burberry gabardine to protect him from
the severe hardships of cold at high
altitude. Completing the scene (and
showcasing the latest Burberry fashion)
are a collection of mannequins, each one
modified to create the diorama of the
momentous occasion.
The figures were specially commissioned
by Burberry for this unique installation,
utilising the artists at Global Displays
London workshop to finely craft the body
forms into each individual pose.
Because of the uniqueness of the
installation and the desire to create a
scene as though caught in the moment of
lift off, every single mannequin had to be
modified and developed with no two
mannequins remaining identical.
From the sitting figure atop the basket to
the ones releasing the ropes, the Global
Display artists worked from sketches,
photographs and with the Burberry
creative team to ensure the mannequins
told the story of the moment of departure
to its fullest effect.
